"The MEC is a military alliance of Arabic-speaking nations situated in the Middle East. It is unknown which Middle Eastern states were members of the Coalition at the time of Battlefield 2. However, locations mentioned as being under MEC control include, but are not limited to, areas in the Arabian Peninsula, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, and Syria."

But the real truth is that MEC forces-Iranian forces.But for political and other reasons,it could not be inserted in game.I already wrote it somewhere in the forum,so I do not repeat myself.
By inserting China forces problems have created,for company........

So rifle G3 regular gun of Iranian forces.Maybe they were replaced now.

MEC is what map requires it to be, it is Iran if map is set in Iran,
it is Iraq if map is set in Iraq, it is Syria if map is set in Syria.
Plain and simple.
If you try too hard to give too much sense to MEC you'll end up with permanent brain damage.

G3 is awesome, no conventional faction uses battle rifle as a main gun,
so there's that, it is not common in third world countries such as AK variants,
or FAL for that matter, but it is still widespread.

I am for MEC subfactions, but what is the point if we'll have another AKM/AK-47 faction?
If someone would model, or tweak current AR family of rifles model, to look more likeIranian M16A1 derivative, to give it to some elite MEC subfaction, that would be awesome,
but then someone would say why you just don't make Iranian faction and delete MEC,
like million times before...

Ask me, give MEC that G3 variant with collapsible stock that was intended for Norwegian faction.
